Review on Enhance Your Workout with Yurbuds Inspire Duro Red - Fitness Headphones Built to Last by Molly Richards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Holds securely, quality is important to us

Used it for a month and a half. I use smaller earbuds, they stay securely in my ears. I can't say the sound is fantastic, but that's because I'm biased towards my custom headphones. The sound is not very clear. They have decent lows and mids, amazing highs. But again, you're directing all the sound down the tube. The transducer has a very annoying bend. You will hear crunching noises as you insert the buds and the pressure changes. It can also muffle the sound when they're under too much pressure. I'm concerned about durability as I've had to change my headphones once within the first month. One of the headphones has a short circuit. Yurbuds immediately replaced the cord! I think I know why, the cord jacket is very stretchy. If you pull something on it, it transfers all the energy to the thin wires inside. I disassembled the headphone cable to find this problem. I ended up soldering the cable from the iPod instead of the broken one. I will keep them as a backup. It's worth noting that yurbuds have no direct relief on the headphone at all. The cable also has a slight straight bump at the headphone jack, similar to the straight bump on iPod headphones. It took several minutes to determine the best fit. You have to rotate the tips so that they align the earbuds a certain way. otherwise they won't keep safe. I can tug on the laces a little and they don't move. I think they can handle sweat too. It is practical that the tips are made of silicone, they can be easily removed and washed. The tips are pretty soft, so I'm concerned they might break if you remove them too hard. They come with a rough nylon case and more than you need. However, it's nice to have a bag that fits your MP3 player too. UPDATE: The headphones are pretty much disposable. I had 3 spares before deciding to throw them away. I've owned several dozen headphones in the past, ranging from junk to high-end. I've never had to change mine.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
